title = "Separation between estimation and approximation",
abstract = "We show (under standard assumptions) that there are NP optimization problems for which estimation is easier than approximation. Namely, one can estimate the value of the optimal solution within a ratio of ρ, but it is difficult to find a solution whose value is within ρ of optimal. As an important special case, we show that there are linear programming relaxations for which no polynomial time rounding technique matches the integrality gap of the linear program.",
